Nope, but covers all occupied Ukraine except Crimea.Is that within range of the Kerch bridge?
What do you mean?

The Russians currently hold territory in the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, plus Crimea. I am suggesting the Russians withdraw their forces from the Kherson oblast to the Zaporizhzhia oblast, from where they have good overland supply from Russia via the Donetsk oblast.
Who would have thought during the height of the 1960s Cold War that in the 2020s NATO's arsenal would help to destroy Russia's conventional forces, cause generational and global ruin of Russia's economy and prestige, and expand NATO's borders to within a stone's throw of St. Petersburg, all without a single NATO soldier lost and no nuclear exchange? Putin has given the West the opportunity of a lifetime to knock Russia off the world stage. Now if only the West would get moving on F-16s, ATACMS, etc. needed to finish the job.Visually confirmed Russian losses. 9000 vehicles including ships and aircraft.
Generally agree with a few corrections:Who would have thought during the height of the 1960s Cold War that in the 2020s NATO's arsenal would help to destroy Russia's conventional forces, cause generational and global ruin of Russia's economy and prestige, and expand NATO's borders to within a stone's throw of St. Petersburg, all without a single NATO soldier lost and no nuclear exchange?

True. The blame lies with Putin. But had NATO not stepped up, first with eight years (2014-2022) of UAF training and military aid, then critical Feb 2022 pre-invasion intel/sigint to Zelenskyy allowing the rout of Russia's Kyiv offensive, followed now with tens of billions in military weapons, systems and ammunition (the US alone provided over $50bn in 2022, equal to 73% of the entire $68bn UK defence budget of 2021) and ongoing reconsat and sigint intelligence, Ukraine would have been rolled over and Putin hailed a hero.2 - NATO is not causing generational and global ruin of Russia's economy and prestige, nor is a merit of NATO the upcoming NATO expansion, actually NATO was a declining/decadent organization. The cause and merit of all of that is Putin himself. Russians shouldn't blame NATO for their disgraces, they should blame Putin.

As I wrote before; Russia has to go hat in hand to Iran and North Korea for munitions. Boeing sends some guys out back to the dumpster and come back with a game changing new weapons system.The GLSDB, another fine Boeing product.
